Before long, Yang Ming was brought into the conference room.

"You're the car owner?" Zhu Yan looked Yang Ming up and down, feeling that this young man had an unfathomable quality, like a majestic green mountain with deep roots firmly planted in the earth.

"You are..." Yang Ming's expression was very calm, his eyes were deep and clear like a spring. The influence of the mountains gave Yang Ming a transcendent temperament.

"Zhu Yan is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade," Zhu Yan said.

"I'm sorry, I went to the wrong place. I need to go to the traffic police station..." Yang Ming said.

"Hehehe..." Li Fengshou couldn't help but laugh, and the group of squad leaders and platoon leaders also couldn't help but laugh along. Of course, it was a traffic accident; how could it possibly involve the criminal investigation team?

"I'm a former traffic police officer from the traffic police brigade..." Zhu Yan blushed, feeling like she had punched empty air. She glared at her subordinates, and the squad leaders and squad captains immediately fell silent.

"Oh! So you're quite familiar with the traffic police brigade. Could you take me there? Thank you..." Yang Ming said.

Yang Ming's words naturally made the group burst into laughter again, after all, Li Fengshou was leading the way.

"Don't bring the traffic police into this. Let me just say this: your car is gone..." Zhu Yan said, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Why?" Yang Ming asked.

"No reason why, I said it's gone, so it's gone..." Zhu Yan said unreasonably.

"Then you can pay me back. My car uses a water-powered engine, has automatic driving, automatic obstacle avoidance, and a GPS navigation system. The interior decoration is also something I modified at a high price. All in all, its value should be around 300 million RMB. Moreover, there is no car in the world that uses a water-powered engine, so even if you offer 1 billion US dollars, I won't have trouble selling it." Yang Ming carefully calculated the costs for Officer Zhu.

"That's all what you said. I didn't see it. When we detained the driver, he didn't say any of that. You need to understand, this is the police station, not a place for you to extort money..." said Officer Zhu.

"Is this a place for swindling and cheating? You impounded my car, so shouldn't you have fulfilled your obligation to safeguard it? Now you're telling me my car is gone, shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Yang Ming said.

"Explain what? There's nothing to explain..." Zhu Yan said domineeringly.

"I want to know where my car is now..." Yang Ming said.

"I don't know either," Zhu Yan said.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer..." Yang Ming nodded, turned and left.

"He left so easily???" Zhu Yan felt a little incredulous, and immediately decided to follow Yang Ming to see what he was planning to do.

Li Fengshou and his gang of company commanders and squad leaders all followed suit...

As soon as Yang Ming left the police station, he took out a small remote control from his pocket and pressed a button.

Zhu Yan, who was following behind Yang Ming, immediately heard the sound of an engine. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw that the RV had actually driven over by itself.

"I'm really sorry..." Yang Ming smiled slightly at Officer Zhu, waved the remote control in his hand at her, got up, got into the RV, and drove away.

Policewoman Zhu was stunned for a moment. Only after the RV disappeared from sight did she react, stamping her foot angrily: "You just wait, I'm going to get that car..."

"Captain, are we going to continue the meeting?" Li Fengshou asked smugly as he approached.

"Open, open, open, you dead man..." Officer Zhu cursed, then stormed off. She was going to get something to eat to ease her depressed mood.

A group of company commanders and squad leaders laughed, but they didn't dare to laugh loudly. They all covered their mouths and chuckled secretly. However, Li Fengshou had a strange feeling. Why did this Demon Lord Zhu look so energetic? It was as if he had unloaded some burden.

Wei Qingqing had a good sleep, but when she woke up, she found her mother-in-law sitting next to her, chatting casually with Liu Sao, who was working, across the kang table.

"Mom! When did you get here? Why didn't you wake me up..." Wei Qingqing quickly sat up, glaring at Aunt Liu, "Why didn't you wake me up???"

"..." Aunt Liu glanced at Wei Qingqing but didn't say anything.

"Don't blame your sister-in-law Liu, I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't let her wake you..." Zhang Shufang patted Wei Qingqing's forehead and asked with concern, "Are you sick? Why are you so lazy? Sleeping in the middle of the day???"

"No, I just went to bed late last night and was a little sleepy..." Wei Qingqing yawned, glanced at her watch, and saw it was already one o'clock in the afternoon: "Has Mom eaten yet?"

"We've eaten. Your sister-in-law Liu and I have just eaten a little. But you, you need to take care of yourself. We've warmed up some food for you. Would you like some?" Zhang Shufang said.

"Just eat a little, Aunt Liu, hurry up and bring me my food..." Wei Qingqing loved to bully Aunt Liu in front of her mother-in-law.

"What a scoundrel..." Aunt Liu rolled her eyes and was about to get off the kang (heated brick bed) to serve Wei Qingqing her meal.

"Sister Liu, don't bother changing. I'll stay here by the kang. I'll go..." Zhang Shufang nimbly got off the kang, lifted the curtain, and went to the outer room.

"Mom! Look at you, Aunt Liu eats, drinks, and takes everything from our house. Making her do some work is like collecting interest..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Wei Qingqing, when did I eat, drink, and take things from your house? We're business partners, okay? I create value for you, don't you give me any benefits???" Aunt Liu stared at Wei Qingqing with wide eyes.

"Qingqing, you little devil, you just love bullying your sister-in-law Liu. Don't you ever learn your lesson? You always end up getting the short end of the stick!" Zhang Shufang said with a smile as she brought in lunch.

The meal consisted of wild boar meat, which we had yesterday. A large plate of it was sliced, topped with sauce, and sprinkled with chopped green onions and cilantro. It was very appetizing. The thick rice porridge was also very sticky and looked very appetizing.

"Thank you, Mom..." Wei Qingqing said sweetly.

"Qingqing, tell Mom, what happened? Your sister-in-law Liu said you were frightened this morning? What did you see???" Zhang Shufang sat down next to Wei Qingqing and whispered.

If something could scare Wei Qingqing, then it's probably not simple. Who is Wei Qingqing? She's seen a ton of alien creatures, especially those two winged lizards—how disgusting and scary they look! Yet she still goes in to collect dragon eggs all the time, doesn't she? Wei Qingqing has long since developed a strong immunity to terrifying things.

"Huh??" Wei Qingqing was eating when she was suddenly startled, her face full of surprise. "I'm scared? How could that be???"

"Sometimes, I get scared without even realizing it..." Aunt Liu said.

"I don't know, how could I remember..." Wei Qingqing shook her head, but the image of the butcher knife flying towards her flashed into her mind. She figured the problem must be there. Anyone would be terrified if a knife flew towards them. Even though she knew it couldn't hurt her, she would still instinctively feel scared.

Zhang Shufang didn't really need to ask. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was also confused, she stopped asking and just kept putting meat on her plate with chopsticks... In this small mountain village, with so many dogs, even if a tiger suddenly jumped out, it wouldn't be able to get away with it. Besides, sometimes, two acquaintances might bump into each other without realizing it and get scared.

"While you were sleeping, Lily called. She said that in a few days, she and her three sisters will come to the village to stay for a few days," said Aunt Liu.

"Oh! Let them stay then. Anyway, Fangfang's new house is finished, let them stay at her house..." Wei Qingqing said while drinking rice porridge.

Suddenly, Wei Qingqing seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, why didn't Fangfang come to play? She went to the county to pick up her sweater yesterday. Did she bring it back?"

"Oh, don't even mention it. Fangfang went to the county early this morning. That garment factory ripped her off. When she came back yesterday, she washed her sweater, and the water turned out even more vibrant than red ink," said Aunt Liu.

"Really??? These small private factories have forgotten how to write the word 'integrity'. They'll all go bankrupt sooner or later..." Wei Qingqing said indignantly.

"Yes, Fangfang is so angry she's about to die. She's threatening to sue them..." Aunt Liu said.

"Hmph, they're just unlucky to have run into Fangfang..." Wei Qingqing had complete confidence in her good friend, Sun Fangfang, who was not one to suffer a loss.

Winters in small county towns are quite cold, but the school, especially the high school, has very good heating facilities. The large boiler is running and can supply the entire campus without any problem. In addition, there are many students in each class, making it quite crowded. So, apart from some body odor, the classrooms are quite warm.

Yesterday, after drinking goat milk and cow milk, Wang Yufang's energy was restored to some extent, and she was discharged from the hospital that same day.

The girl, who loves beauty, couldn't resist trying on the Hanfu her father brought back.

The beautiful Hanfu is noble and elegant, with its tall crown and wide belt. When worn by a young girl, it exudes a serene and jade-like demeanor. Yes, it is demeanor. The beautiful phoenix spreading its wings as if about to take flight gives the girl an even more radiant and noble aura.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Wang Yufang made a decision in her heart.

Today, before dawn, Wang Yufang wrapped herself in a winter coat and sneaked off to school.

"Oh? Erfang is wearing a skirt???" As soon as she entered the classroom, a female student who had gotten up early and was studying in the classroom for the morning was surprised to notice the difference in Wang Yufang.

She was a boarding student named Long Yunyun. Like Wang Yufang, she was a second child. Anyway, during the one-child policy era, her family was punished a lot because of her.

"Erlong? Have you eaten yet?" Wang Yufang greeted Long Yunyun with a smile.

"What time is it now? Morning exercises haven't started yet. The cafeteria won't open until we finish morning exercises..." Long Yunyun said.

"Okay, when you get your food, remember to get me a portion too: three sesame seed cakes, two fried dough sticks, and an egg..." Wang Yufang said, tossing Long Yunyun a meal card before sitting down in her seat.

"Are you a pig? Eating so much??" Long Yunyun rolled her eyes, caught the meal card, and put it in her pocket.

"You're the pig..." Wang Yufang immediately rolled her eyes.

"Hey, patient, you were just discharged yesterday. Teacher Lu didn't cook for you this morning either?" Long Yunyun said, moving closer to Wang Yufang.

"Ugh, I snuck out today..." Wang Yufang rolled her eyes at Long Yunyun again and said mysteriously.

"Huh?" Long Yunyun's mouth gaped open, her two beautiful eyes widening in surprise. After a long while, she finally said, "Why???"

"Hmph, did you see that???" Wang Yufang proudly tugged at the hem of her skirt, showing off.

"Oh my? If you hadn't lifted your skirt, I wouldn't have noticed. What kind of shoes are those? The toes are all upturned. Where did you buy them?" Long Yunyun stared at Wang Yufang's boots, her eyes shining brightly.

"You country bumpkin, where did you buy it? It was custom-made, a whole set, cost three thousand yuan..." Wang Yufang looked at him with disdain, but she was getting more and more smug.

"A set???" Long Yunyun stared in disbelief at Wang Yufang's boots. "Are these shoes sold individually???"

Wang Yufang was completely stunned, veins throbbing on her forehead. She exclaimed, "I was talking about Hanfu, okay? You don't even know that???"

"Hanfu???" Long Yunyun's big eyes were full of confusion. She really didn't know anything about Hanfu.

"Of course, I'll show you something amazing..." Wang Yufang said, standing up and taking off her winter coat.

It was only then that Long Yunyun realized that what the other person was wearing was not a dress, but a set of ancient costume.

Stunning...

This was Long Yunyun's first impression.

Luxurious...

This was Long Yunyun's first impression.

Long Yunyun's eyes fell on Wang Yufang and couldn't look away. The gorgeous Hanfu on Wang Yufang naturally showed the demeanor of a superior ethnic group. The sense of superiority of civilization over barbarism and the profound cultural heritage made Long Yunyun feel ashamed.

"How was it??? Not bad, right???" Wang Yufang spun around in place and said smugly.

"Erfang, aren't we good sisters?" Long Yunyun stammered.

"Of course, but if you want to wear my Hanfu, then it's not..." Wang Yufang was a clever girl, and she could tell what Long Yunyun wanted to do just by looking at her expression.

Long Yunyun immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, becoming listless and dispirited.

"Hmph, it's not that I don't want to take care of you, the key is, you can't take off these clothes. I'm only wearing underwear under my mid-length top. If I take them off, won't I be exposed?" Wang Yufang's excuse was perfectly legitimate.

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Long Yunyun laughed obsequiously, wrapping her arms around Wang Yufang's. "Erfang, how about we go to our dorm..."

"I'm not going. If I get to your dorm, those slovenly girls will tear my Hanfu to shreds!" Wang Yufang refused without even thinking. Of course, only a fool would go to the wolf's den.

"Well, well..." Long Yunyun couldn't think of a better excuse for a moment. Just then, a broadcast came from outside, informing the students to do morning exercises.

"Hurry up, hurry up and go do your morning exercises. Remember to buy me lunch..." Wang Yufang said, pushing Long Yunyun out of the classroom.

"Hehehe..." After seeing Long Yunyun off, Wang Yufang spun around happily for a couple of minutes before sitting back down on her stool, taking out her study materials, and starting to study.

"Damn it! Doing morning exercises all day long is so annoying. Hurry up, I'm going to hide in our classroom for a while, you go to the cafeteria to get food..." Suddenly, a boy's voice came from outside the classroom.

Wang Yufang stopped writing because she recognized the voice as that of a classmate named Zhao Zhen, who had very poor grades and had only managed to get in by paying a lot of extra fees.

The classroom door opened, and Zhao Zhen peeked inside. His eyes widened in shock, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Excuse me, who are you??? And where is this???" Wang Yufang suddenly had a mischievous thought.

Zhao Zhen stared intently at Wang Yufang, his mouth watering.

Wang Yufang blushed, lowered her head, and muttered under her breath, "You lecherous scoundrel..."

"Ah..." Zhao Zhen heard it clearly and was immediately startled. He quickly came to his senses and slipped out of the classroom, his heart pounding: "Oh my god, they're wearing it backwards..."

Wang Yufang blinked, feeling quite frustrated: Am I... that scary?

About half a minute later, the classroom door was pushed open again, and Zhao Zhen walked in with his head held high and chest out. He slowly strolled over to Wang Yufang, blushed, and said, "I am... no, my name is Zhao Zhen. May I ask how this young lady is addressed?" His demeanor was unusually polite.

"This humble servant...this humble servant..." The young girl, Wang Yufang, was quite mischievous. Her face was flushed, her expression timid, and she was also shy. Her voice was barely audible.

"Oh! Miss, please don't be nervous. It was my rudeness. May I ask where you are from?" Zhao Zhen quickly said gently.

"This humble servant...this humble servant..." Wang Yufang tried her best to maintain a shy demeanor.

"Oh! I was being presumptuous, please forgive me, Miss..." Zhao Zhen quickly said.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao..." Wang Yufang said shyly, just like those well-bred young ladies who strictly adhered to etiquette.

"You're welcome, you're welcome..." Zhao Zhen felt like his heart was soaring after receiving the title "Zhao the Warrior," and he felt like he was floating on air. However, he didn't grin like an idiot. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but he was afraid that his silly appearance would leave a bad impression on the beauty.

"This servant...this servant hasn't eaten anything all day..." Wang Yufang's face was flushed, not from shyness, but from holding it in. She really wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to.

"Haven't eaten all day???" Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a surge of energy. Since the beauty could say such a thing, it meant that she was hungry and didn't mind him treating her to something to eat. This made him extremely excited.

"Mmm!" Wang Yufang nodded shyly.
